    17 March 2020, 11:14

    Iranian health ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour released the figure during a televised news conference.

                        Expert warns of 'disaster' in coronavirus-hit Iran
                        Iran reported 1,934 deaths from coronavirus
                        By Mustafa Melih Ahıshalı and Narges Rezaie | 24.03.2020

                        ISTANBUL

                        An infectious disease expert has warned of a "disaster" in Iran if the authorities failed to impose a travel ban during Nowruz, the Persian New Year holiday, to stem the spread of coronavirus.

                        Highlighting that the virus was spreading in Iran even faster than China, Masoud Mardani of the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences said the authorities were slow to respond to the outbreak.

                        "The pandemic has spread to other cities from Qom because the city could not be isolated in a timely manner," said Mardani, who is also a member of the Iranian coronavirus science council.

                        He said between 100-150 people die and thousands get infected with the virus every day in Iran.

                        Mardani, however, claimed that the daily data announced by the country’s Health Ministry includes only the cases recorded in hospitals.

                        "The real figures could be higher than the official numbers," he said...
